Lightning Crash, formerly known as Gravity's Light, was a space station owned by the Graf family member Xylan Graf. After the formation of their Stormwall, a network of satellites called stormseeds, the Nihil pirates took over the station and held Graf hostage, forcing him to allow them to run the Stormwall from the station. It housed a crystal array created by Doctor Zadina Mkampa which powered the Stormwall. In order to pass through the Stormwall, the station sent out a fractal pulse along the stormseeds that could only be intercepted by Nihil Path engine devices.[2] In 228 BBY,[3] the station's staff were purged by General Abediah Viess, with it being placed under the command of one of Eye of the Nihil Marchion Ro's She'ar. Not long later, the Lightning Crash was destroyed by the Jedi Order and Republic Defense Coalition.[4]

- ↑ 3.0 3.1 Star Wars: Timelines dates Starlight Beacon's destruction to 230 BBY. The implementation of the Guardian Protocols, which Star Wars: The High Republic Character Encyclopedia places in 229 BBY, took place one week after Starlight Beacon's fall according to The High Republic: Shadows of Starlight 1. As The High Republic: Temptation of the Force, including the destruction of the Lightning Crash, takes place one year and six weeks after the destruction of Starlight Beacon and its events span a few months, its events must be set in 228 BBY.
